My Mom and Parker hung out for awhile together yesterday. They share this mega mutal admiration thing. They both think the other hung the moon.
They did a lot of fingerplays. A whole lot, lol!
Parker loved every minute of it and was ready for more. My Mom, however, was exhausted. 
And we discovered a great secret. Did you know that your Pediatrician can request that a nurse comes to YOU when you have a medically fragile child and that child needs a blood draw. Yup. It’s funny cause a friend had just asked me about this right before Parker’s new doctor called and told me a nurse was on her way to draw a new crit from Parker. Yeah. I’m still kicking myself for not switching over months ago.
Parker’s red blood cell levels came back unchanged from the last week. From now on there will be a nurse coming to our house each Monday to draw a crit and keep an eye on Parker’s levels. Parker’s doctor doesn’t want him around anyone that could be sick. Newly trached and medically fragile, she wants to be as careful with him as she can be. If he dives back down she will give us a call and have us check in for a transfusion.
Yup. You read that right. The Pediatrician will GIVE US A CALL. And she is as good as her word.
Amazing, no?
Wow, it sounds like you guys have found a gem of a new doctor! I’m so happy she’s such a good one! And it looks like Parker had a great time with his Grandma!
WOW! You did find a rare jewel of a pediatrician!
Awesome!!!!! I am soooo happy you found such a great new ped!!!
Love the pictures of Parker!
HUGS back at ya my friend!
Love, Kei
Yay for good pediatricians!
Jack and my mom are like 2 peas in a pod. And Mom lives with us…their bedrooms are side-by-side. He goes to her room every morning before he goes anywhere else.
I know, she is amazing. When Chase was tiny she did the same for us and she really does call back. Glad you like her…Happy to see Parker playing in his own room and not in the PICU……Home Sweet Home!
I am so glad to hear things are better! Grandmas are the greatest! I am glad that you and Parker have some support!
That is a gem of a doctor!
Many prayers headed your way!

that is wonderful to hear a nurse will be coming to the house so you don’t have to take Parker to the hospital every week for this blood draw! The new ped sounds like such a blessing! Parker sure does look happy w/his grandma!
But you LOVE traveling with Parker! It’s so much fun!!!
Great news. He’s wayyyy cute. I think he’s signing there, right?
Yet another prayer answered, thank you Lord. I would like to personally go and kiss the feet of the pediatrician and doctor who come to YOU.
Parker is looking so much older and so incredibly sweet..but then you know that already. Hugs to you all, much love for that lil bean!
